Bread Hat Update

Salvador Dali inspired bread hats. Bagel, sandwich loaf, baguette and bread roll. Except for the Pink Panther the drawings are at a very early stage for now.

Lost And Found

I completely forgot about these early rough designs of Donald Dark until I opened an unnamed WIP folder wondering what it was, so here you go.

Duckland:
The Wingless Beast from Ingering

My drawing desk, today. I reworked the "Lindworm from Ingering" design, a wingless dragon-like beast from last year's Duckland show at the Kasematten theatre, for a new task.

Disney's LORCANA

I was, and still am, on the team of the Lorcana production (Ravensburger North America and Disney). This here was a personal piece I did upfront to the actual character work, warming myself up for the big adventure. I kind of slipped – in a metaphorical sense – into Mickey getting ready for the journey. LORCANA.COM

Especially big thanks to lead art director Matthew Eng for the guidance and support.

“Regard it as just as desirable to build a duck's house as to build a cathedral.”*

*Freely adapted from Frank Lloyd Wright: “Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.”
(Thanks, Judy M.)

Last weekend I joined the opening of my new art show, which centers about my character caricature design and animation design satire work, at the Caricature Museum Krems.

Here are some peeks at the show's venue, taken last Saturday, a few hours before the opening. Showing, among other things, one of the central works of the show, 'Donald Duck's suburban house meets Frank Lloyd Wright'.
"But what if Carl Barks had chosen Frank Lloyd Wright or the Brutalist Architecture Movement as reference for Donald Duck's home?"
